First off, the SRM console in general... my lowly monitor only goes up to 1024x768. I know SRM is in 1280x1024 on the multia by default. I searched around and found a site with jumper settings for changing the resolution. Unfortunatally, while the resolution DOES change, it never seems to become anything my monitor can handle. i tried setting it to 640x480, and it's still weird. This is all just a side note, because I CAN set up a serial console, i just don't have the serial cable yet. In any case, the main problem, is that booting the floppy (and yes, i've written the image, and rewritten that, and it doesn't change at all), it all seems to go fine for a while, and then just stops. ANY ideas? As I said, I DID try redownloading the .flp's a few billion times, tried a whole bunch of different disks, and it does the same thing.
